Can't believe how under-rated this game was. I still believe this was easily THE best looking game of its time.. and the production values.. the soundtrack.. for a game to have all of this in around 2003 should be a remarkable achievement.. Definitely one of the hidden gems of the PS2.

This game was way ahead of its time. In every aspect. It's good to see that people appreciate it fully for what it was. A lot of people didn't get to finish it due to the high difficulty, especially in the later missions, but damn was it a solid story all the way around. Fantastic writing and characters, mixed with some mind blowing tech for when it came out. When developers were truly dedicated to the craft, instead of mulling over how they can weasel in micro-transactions.

Ahhh the sweet satisfaction a young 12 year old me felt when Hammond finally got to reveal Jolsons plot to the other gangs at the end. Beautifully scripted and fantastic graphics (for the time). This game was an absolute classic and is hugely under-rated.

I do miss the early 2000s playing this game life was good.

I’m the opposite. I thought this game was horrible. The gameplay was god-awful. Didn’t like Mark Hammond at all (I thought he was an awful protagonist). Guy’s always getting his ass kicked. I really liked Frank Carter, though. I also liked Charlie Jolson (he was probably the best bit about this game). I thought Black Monday was 10x better than this game. I thought the characters were better and I thought they were also more likeable. Eddie O’ Connor (the boxer) was phenomenal. I thought the gameplay on Black Monday was miles better. It wasn’t even a comparison for me. I thought the soundtrack on Black Monday was better. The thing that I also disliked about this game was the fact that there was no map to look at. Half the time you didn’t know where you were going. I thought Black Monday had a better story (I know loads of people will disagree with me on that, but that’s what I think). The only thing I thought this game did better than Black Monday was the graphics, that’s about it. I thought Black Monday was an upgrade from the first game in every other way.

Just watched this from start to finish and it's the most entertaining "movie" I've watched in ages. I never got right to the end when I had this game so I never saw a lot of these scenes.

Thank you for putting this in Chronological Order, was always curious to see this game in the order of events as it happened to see the pacing if it were a movie that was conventional in narrative structure.

They don't make games like this anymore. Class storyline, great gameplay and at the time, graphics were belta. The game lasted ages as well, got you gripped with the whole storyline, knew who was who and what was what. Even the Getaway 2 was good.

I love how casually Hammond steps out of the yardie crackhouse with his gun drawn with the cash after brutally slaughtering every yardie there. That's why I love Hammond he's so badass

I remember playing this game when it first came out, and it was incredible, way ahead of it's time. It's not until I watch it back now that I realise there are so many references to Londons criminal underworld that I would not have understood back then. I.e "Charlie" as in Charlie Richardson, - the electrocution torture - as in the Richardson Gang (torture gang), Ronnie and Reggie get a mention, Harry the Hat - Jack the Hat McViti and other subtle references throughout. So many legends and ideologies in this, a lot of east end legends all thrown into one game. Charlie in this actually reminds me of Dave Courtney a little bit haha! Great vid, very nostalgic. Thanks :)
